Item 1. Business Overview

Milestone Scientific is a biomedical technology research and development company that patents, designs, develops and commercializes innovative diagnostic and therapeuticinjection technologies and devices for medical, dental, cosmetic and veterinary applications. We have focused our resources on redefining the worldwide standard of care forinjection techniques by making the experience more comfortable for the patient by reducing the anxiety and stress of receiving injections from the healthcare provider. Ourcomputer-controlled injection systems make injections precise, efficient and virtually painless. Milestone’s proprietary DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology® is ourtechnology platform that advances the development of next-generation devices, regulating flow rate and monitoring pressure from the tip of the needle, through platformextensions for local anesthesia for subcutaneous drug delivery, with specific applications for cosmetic botulinum toxin injections, epidural space identification in regionalanesthesia procedures and intra-articular joint injections.

Since our inception, we have engaged in pioneering proprietary, innovative, computer-controlled injection technologies and solutions for the medical and dental markets. We

believe our technologies are proven and well established. In 1997, Milestone Scientific released its first commercial product, the first computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery (C-CLAD) system, into the North American

marketplace. This product was our proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery device, initially marketed as The Wand®, a computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery(C-CLAD) device with a single-use disposable handpiece for the dental market, regulating and controlling the flow rate of anesthetics. This device was later rebrandedcommercially as the CompuDent® System with the addition of several new features.

In 2001, Milestone Scientific was issued the initial United States Patent for CompuFlo® technology, entitled “Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery

Instrument with Exit Pressure,” allowing the device to continuously monitor and control the exit pressure of medication and/or fluid during an injection. We call this innovationDPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology. This same technology also enables doctors to accurately identify different tissue types based on detecting exit pressure during aninjection. Later in 2004, the United States Patent Office issued a “Notice of Allowance” for patent protection on two additional critical elements of our CompuFlo technology:“Drug Delivery Instrument with Profiles” and “Pressure/Force Computer Controlled Drug Delivery with Automated Charging”.

Given our experience and established brand awareness within the dental industry, we elected to focus our initial product development efforts on the integration of

CompuFlo’s DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology into our legacy dental injection system. In 2006, the FDA cleared the first system utilizing CompuFlo's DPS DynamicPressure Sensing technology— the STA (Single Tooth Anesthesia) System and handpiece for use in the dental market, providing continuous real-time visual and audible pressurefeedback from the tip of the needle while also precisely regulating the flow rate. Because of combining the ability to regulate the flow rate and monitor pressure at the tip of theneedle, Milestone Scientific developed the industry’s first solution for painlessly administering an intra-ligamnetary injection, i.e., “single-tooth anesthesia” which could be used asthe only injection necessary for achieving dental anesthesia, foregoing the need to administer traditional injections such as a nerve branch block. In addition to single-toothanesthesia the STA System can effectively perform all the traditional injections that dentist’s routine gives but can provide them virtually pain free and with a numerous clinicaladvantage. This device, which also utilizes a disposable handpiece, is currently marketed by Milestone Scientific as the Wand STA® System.

Milestone Scientific believes our dental devices have set a new standard of care for dental injections. Our dental devices have been used to administer tens of millions of

injections worldwide. Each of our devices has a related single use disposable handpiece, leading to a continuing revenue stream following sale of the device. At present, we selldisposable handpieces unique to our legacy product (the Wand and CompuDent) to users who have not upgraded to our current dental product, the Wand STA System.

Building on the success of our proprietary, core technology platform for dental injections, and desiring to pursue other growth opportunities, we have recently begun toexpand the uses and applications of our proprietary, patented technologies to achieve greater operational efficiencies, enhanced patient safety and therapeutic adherence, patientsatisfaction, and improved quality of care across a broad range of medical specialties. In June 2017, we received FDA regulatory clearance to sell the CompuFlo EpiduralComputer Controlled Anesthesia System in the United States for certain medical applications. We intend to continue to expand the uses and applications of our DPS DynamicPressure Sensing technology.

We believe that we and our technology solutions are widely recognized by key opinion leaders (i.e., academics, anesthesiologists and practicing dentists whose opinions are

widely respected), industry experts and medical and dental practitioners as a leader in the emerging, computer-controlled injection industry. Milestone Scientific remains focused on advancing efforts to achieve the following five primary objectives:

● Establishing Milestone’s DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform as the standard-of-care in painless and precise drug delivery, providing for thefirst time objective visual and audible in-tissue pressure feedback, and continuing to expand platform applications;

● Following obtaining successful FDA clearance of our first medical device in June 2017, Milestone Scientific is transitioning from a research and developmentorganization to a commercially focused medical device company;

● Commercializing our CompuFlo Epidural System, a transformative device for epidural anesthesia procedures;● Expanding the global footprint of our CompuFlo Epidural System by partnering with distribution companies worldwide; and● Continuing the commercial launch of our proprietary cosmetic injection device for delivery of botulinum toxin (such as Botox® and Dysport®).

Our dental devices are sold in the United States, Canada and in 53 other countries with FDA, CE and other clearances Since receiving FDA clearance in 2017 our epiduraldevices have had minimal sales in the United States and Europe.

DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing Technology®; Our Proprietary Core Technology Platform

Our first commercial product, our proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery device, initially marketed as The Wand later rebranded commercially as the

CompuDent® System, for the dental market, uses patented technology, including a single-use disposable handpiece, to control the flow rate of the anesthesia during the injection,allowing virtually painless injections for all dental procedures with optimal effectiveness. Over the years, the CompuDent System has been widely heralded as a revolutionarydevice, considered one of the major advances in dentistry in the 20th Century, and has been favorably evaluated in more than 50 peers reviewed or independent clinical researchreports.

Our next significant intellectual property advancement was a quantum improvement over our CompuDent® System – the development of our proprietary CompuFlo®

Computer-Controlled Drug Delivery System with DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology, an advanced and FDA-approved technology for the painless and accurate delivery ofdrugs, anesthetics and other medicaments into all tissue types, as well as for the aspiration of bodily fluids or previously injected substances. Its regulation and control of the flowrate continues to provide painless delivery benefits, while its innovative dynamic pressure sensing capability provides visual and audible in-tissue pressure feedback, identifyingtissue types to the healthcare provider. This pressure feedback extends the benefit of painlessness from anesthetics with known viscosities to a wide range of liquid drugs and othermedicaments with varying viscosities and flow rates. Such pressure feedback, part of our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology, also allows the healthcare provider to knowwhen certain types of tissues have been penetrated and permits the healthcare provider to inject medicaments precisely at the desired location. Thus, real-time continuous pressurefeedback can prevent the injection to tissue outside the intended target area, an important characteristic in the injection of chemotherapeutics and other toxic substances.

In addition to the ability to determine exit pressure In-Situ (in the injection site tissue) at the tip of the needle, minimizing tissue damage (and eliminating the pain of the

injection) because the flow rate and pressure of the injection are precisely controlled, CompuFlo® computer-controlled Drug Delivery Systems features a proprietary algorithm,which allow for the measurement of the exit pressure. These algorithms contain the critical components of specific drugs, parameters of needles, tubing and syringes and all otherpertinent components for the safe and efficacious delivery of medications for all procedures. CompuFlo® technology also enables devices to provide a digital record of the timeand volume of anesthetic or medicament injected.

Each CompuFlo® System also includes a disposable injection handpiece that is extremely comfortable, light and easy to use, providing for precise tactile control during the

injection, an electromechanical (computer-controlled) fluid delivery instrument and the ability to record data from the injection event. The pencil grip used with the handpiecesprovides the practitioner with enhanced tactile sense and accurate control and allows bi-directional rotation, eliminating needle deflection, resulting in a greater accuracy andsuccess. The handpiece is vibration-free because it does not have a motor or electrical component in it and, since the handpiece does not look like a typical syringe, we believe italso reduces patient anxiety and offers the possibility of curing dental phobia of which an estimated 40 million Americans suffer.

As confirmed by numerous noted medical and dental experts within academia and the clinical practice arenas, CompuFlo Systems using DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing

technology have the potential to greatly increase the safety and efficacy of many drug delivery procedures that currently rely upon the over 150-year-old hypodermic syringetechnology and the tactile senses and delivery expertise of the administrator.

Devices using DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology such as the CompuFlo System can be used to inject a wide variety of liquid medicaments as well as anesthetics.

We believe our CompuFlo System avoids the negative side effects from the use of traditional hypodermic drug delivery injection devices, which are well documented in dental andmedical literature and include risk of death, transient or permanent paralysis, pain, tissue damage and post-operative complications. Pain and tissue damage often result fromuncontrolled flow rates and pressure created during the administration of drug solutions into human tissue. While several technologies have can control the flow rate, we believeour patented DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology and CompuFlo Systems provide the ability to accurately and precisely control the pressure of the injection as well.

We believe our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology and CompuFlo Systems provides the following benefits:

● minimizes the pain associated with injections, resulting in a more comfortable injection experience for the patient;● provides visual and audible in-tissue pressure feedback, identifying the desired target location to the healthcare provider, extending the benefit of painlessness

from anesthetics with known viscosities to a wide range of liquid drugs and other medicaments with varying viscosities and flow rates;● allows the healthcare provider to know when the target location is present and permits the healthcare provider to inject medicaments precisely at the desired

location;● provides a digital record of the time and volume of anesthetic or medicament injected;● minimizes tissue damage because the flow rate and pressure of the injection are controlled;● provides an integrated injection database of algorithms that have been defined which allow for the measurement of the exit pressure, containing the critical

components of specific drugs, parameters of needles, tubing and syringes and all other pertinent components for the safe and efficacious delivery of medications;● the pencil grip used with the handpieces allows significant tactile sense and accurate control;● new injections made possible with the technology eliminate collateral numbness;● bi-directional rotation of the handpieces eliminates needle deflection resulting in greater success and more rapid onset of anesthesia in injections;● the use of a single patient use, disposable handpieces minimize the risk of cross contamination; and

Our first system utilizing a DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform was our STA System and related handpiece for the dental market, currently marketed as theWand STA System. Another platform extension of our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology® platform is the CompuFlo Epidural System. In addition, we have developedplatform extensions of our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform for intra-articular (for administering corticosteroids, hyaluronic acid and other medicaments intoboth major and minor joints for the alleviation of pain associated with arthritis and other deleterious joint conditions), cosmetic and veterinary applications. We intend to continueto develop and commercialize new applications of our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing Technology Platform as commercial line extensions.

CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System

In June 2017, we received FDA regulatory clearance to sell the CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System in the United States for certain medical

applications. The CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System obtained CE mark approval in September 2014, allowing it to be marketed and sold in mostEuropean countries and many other countries accepting CE approved devices. Because of receiving such FDA clearance, we are transitioning from a research and developmentorganization to a commercially focused medical device company and beginning to commercialize our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform and related devices formedical applications.

The CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System is one such platform extension of our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform, providing

anesthesiologists and other healthcare providers the ability, for the first time, to quantitatively determine and document the pressure at the needle tip in real-time for proper needleplacement in epidural procedures used for labor/delivery and back pain management. Our proprietary DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology allows the CompuFlo EpiduralComputer Controlled Anesthesia System to provide objective visual and audible in-tissue pressure feedback that allows anesthesiologists to identify and confirm placement in theepidural space.

Our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System provides an objective tool that we believe consistently and accurately identifies the epidural space by

detecting the difference in pressure between the ligamentum flavum and the intrafilamentary tissue. In studies, the CompuFlo Epidural System with DPS Dynamic PressureSensing technology has been shown to be effective in correctly identifying the epidural space. Knowing the precise location of a needle tip during an epidural injection procedureprovides a measure of safety not presently available to doctors using conventional syringes. In the absence of fluoroscopy, identifying the epidural space by relying on thesubjective perception of loss of resistance to saline requires a very long education period and learning curve and could result in morbidity and lack of efficacy. During back painmanagement epidural procedures, where fluoroscopy is commonly used, the CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System allows the clinician to locate the epiduralspace, without using fluoroscopy, thereby protecting the patient and clinician from unnecessary exposure to radiation along with significantly reducing capital and operating costs.

An abstract presented at the 45th Chilean Congress of Anesthesiology on November 11, 2017, entitled: Utilization of Dynamic Pressure Sensing™ in Epidural Procedures

for Child Birth and representing the first formal presentation of our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System device in South America, summarized the resultsof a recent independent, investigator-led clinical study evaluating the use of Milestone’s CompuFlo Epidural device in 50 labor and delivery patients, concluding that the epiduralspace was correctly identified in 100% of the patients. In addition, the epidural space was located on the first attempt with all the patients. There were no cases of accidentalpuncture of the dura, a common risk factor for traditional epidural procedures using the loss of resistance technique. We believe that this represents a significant benefit for thepayors, physicians, and most importantly, the patients.

In July 2017, Milestone Scientific acquired certain patent rights and other intellectual property rights related to the computer-controlled injection device of APAD Octrooi

B.V. and APAD B.V. This patent portfolio solidifies our patent rights for computer-controlled local anesthetic delivery (C-CLAD) technology and expands our proprietary rightsand provides low cost and simple instrument to deliver epidural injections. CompuFlo Intra-Articular Computer Controlled Injection System

Another platform extension utilizing our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform and CompuFlo System are our devices for administering corticosteroids and

other medicaments into both major and minor joints for the alleviation of pain associated with arthritis and other deleterious joint conditions. As features of our DPS DynamicPressure Sensing technology, this device also precisely controls in-tissue pressure, increasing patient safety by reducing the risk of tissue damage and post-treatment pain related toexcessive pressure that may occur during certain injections. Identification of the tissue, in which the needle tip is imbedded, is believed to be highly important in intra-articularinjections and numerous organ, subcutaneous and intramuscular injections.

We believe our intra-articular injection device is particularly efficacious for arthritis patients who are obliged to endure multiple painful injections annually for a lifetime.

Often these injections are not efficacious because the doctor using a syringe fails to locate the intra-articular space or does not inject the appropriate volume of corticosteroids orother medicament into that space. Our CompuFlo System has been shown successful in an independent animal study in administering medicaments into a certain intra-articularspace using its computer-controlled pressure sensing capabilities.

The intra-articular device has obtained CE mark clearance and may be marketed and sold in most European countries and many other countries accepting CE approved

devices. In December 2016, we received notification from the FDA that our 510(k) applications for marketing approval of the intra-articular device did not demonstrate that thedevice was as safe and effective as legally marketed devices. We intend to submit a new 510(k) application that we believe will demonstrate substantial equivalency; however, wecan provide no assurances of when, if ever, we will receive FDA clearance for our intra-articular device. Cosmetic Botulinum Injection Device

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reported that among the 14.2 million cosmetic minimally-invasive procedures performed in 2015, the top performed

procedure, at 6.7 million procedures, was Botulinum Toxin Type A (commonly known as Botox) injection. Leveraging our experience in minimizing the pain of dentalanesthetic injections, we established a joint venture in 2014 to develop and commercialize a device for the pain free injection of botulinum toxin. The joint venture entity,Milestone Advanced Cosmetic Systems, Inc., is owned 50% by us and 50% by Milestone China Company Limited (“Milestone China”), a company organized under the laws ofHong Kong and then owned 40% by Milestone Scientific, but as to which Milestone Scientific now only has an option to purchase up to 40% of Milestone China (as moreparticularly described below under Distribution and Marketing Arrangements). Milestone China contributed $900,000 of cash to the joint venture and we have provided aroyalty-free license to utilize our technology to the joint venture to develop a botulinum toxin injection device.

In November 2017, we announced plans for the commercial launch of our proprietary cosmetic injection device using our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology

platform and our CompuFlo Cosmetic System for delivery of botulinum toxin. Our proprietary cosmetic injection device features improved needle placement with a comfortablestylus grip, precise dosing, the same technology platform that has made dental and epidural injections painless, and an intuitive touch-screen interface. Based on the positiveoutcomes of a series of multi-state human factor studies with targeted customers, we are moving towards the commercial launch of our cosmetic device and applying for marketingclearance in Europe (CE clearance), and United States (FDA clearance). Although the Company’s instrument has progressed beyond the development stage, additional equityfinancing is necessary to fund the commercialization of the instrument. To this end, the Company is currently in the process of pursuing additional financing. However, theCompany and Milestone China can provide no assurance that additional financing will be consummated on acceptable terms, or at all

We believe that the touch screen and other platform improvements embodied by our cosmetic device will form the basis for our ne xt generation of devices.

Veterinary Nerve Block Anesthesia Device

The effectiveness of our veterinary nerve block anesthesia device (existing medical device) for such use was confirmed by a pilot study and final report completed byCornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine. Additional studies with other universities are in process with respect to horses and small animals. We are exploringcommercialization opportunities.

The Wand STA System

In 2006, we received FDA clearance for our Wand STA System and disposable handpiece, the first system utilizing CompuFlo’s DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing

technology, for use in the dental market. The Wand STA System and handpiece continue to provide all of the benefits of the CompuDent System, allowing dentists to providevirtually painless injections for all dental procedures, including routine fillings, as well as more sophisticated implants, root canals and crowns, while better facilitating singletooth anesthesia (now generally performed with a high pressure spring loaded gun-like device), but also incorporates the "pressure feedback" elements of Milestone Scientific'spatented CompuFlo System, thereby allowing dentists to administer injections accurately and painlessly into the periodontal ligament space, effectively anesthetizing a singletooth. Injections made by the Wand STA System eliminate collateral numbness of the tongue, lips and facial muscles and often hasten the onset of anesthesia by eliminating theneed for mandibular blocks. The Wand STA also identifies intrafilamentary tissue, so dentists can find the precise location for single tooth anesthesia . This injection is ofsignificant value in that it allows the dentist to profoundly anesthetize the tooth within one minute per root, versus up to 15-18 minutes for a block injection to take effect. TheWand STA System can perform all the injections that can be done with a conventional dental syringe, and in addition, we provide the ability to perform the following: the palatal-anterior superior alveolar, anterior middle superior alveolar and inferior alveolar nerve block. The Wand STA System achieves these injections predictably and reliably. To date,substantially all our revenue has been generated by the Wand STA System for dental applications.

Since its market introduction in the spring of 2007, the Wand STA System has received favorable reviews and awards from the dental industry. In July 2007, noted industry

publication Dentistry Today featured the Wand STA System as one of the “Top 100 Products in 2007,” helping to promote much broader recognition of the instrument andvalidating the Wand STA System’s value proposition for dentists and patients, alike. In early 2008, Medical Device & Diagnostic Industry magazine distinguished the Wand STASystem as a 2008 Medical Design Excellence Award winner in the “Dental Instruments, Equipment and Supplies” product category. Of the 33 products to receive this covetedaward, the Wand STA System was one of only two winning products that serve dental practitioners. In December 2008, Milestone Scientific continued to win broad acclaim for theWand STA System by winning a “Townie Choice Award”. The “Townie Choice” awards were originally started by Dr. Howard Darran and Farran Media, publisher of DentaltownMagazine, to assist dentists in making product purchasing decisions, and are considered the “people’s choice” of the products and services available to the dental industry today.That same month, the Wand STA System was also named as a Dental Products Report “Top 100 2008 Product of Distinction.” Additionally, the Wand STA System was named oneof Dentistry Today’s “Top 100 Products” for the third consecutive year in 2010.

Other Devices

At earlier stages of development are our products using CompuFlo’s DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology for less painful injections for use in rhinoplasty, colorectal

surgery, podiatry and other disciplines. In the self-injectable market, there are many injectable drugs routinely self-administered in a home or office setting using spring loadedautomatic injection devices by people who suffer from long term chronic conditions such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other diseases of the auto immunesystem. We believe CompuFlo’s DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology, using pressure sensing capabilities, can serve as a painless subcutaneous injection method for theseself-administered drugs. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop any such products, or that if developed, that we will be able to obtainFDA approval to market any such products, or even if we do obtain such FDA approval, that any such products will generate any revenue for us or be a commercial success. Distribution and Marketing Arrangements

Our dental devices are sold in the United States, Canada, and in over 53 countries abroad. In June 2017, we received FDA regulatory clearance to sell our first medical

device, the CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System in the United States. Since receiving FDA clearance in 2017 our epidural devices have had minimalsales in the United States and Europe.

Dental Market

In the spring of 2009, Milestone Scientific signed a distribution and marketing agreement with China National Medicines Corporation, dba Sinopharm. In early October

2012, the State Food and Drug Administration (“CFDA”) of the People’s Republic of China approved the Wand STA System. However, the CFDA’s approval of the Wand STAhandpieces was not received until May 2014 and the distribution of these handpieces in China began in the fourth quarter of 2014. The distribution and marketing agreement withSinopharm was terminated in September 2014. Proximate to that time, we entered into a new agreement with Milestone China to be our distributor for the Wand STA System andhandpieces in China. Milestone Scientific then owned, but now has an option to purchase, forty (40%) percent of Milestone China (the “Milestone China Shares”). In June 2017,Milestone Scientific sold its Milestone China Shares to an unaffiliated United States domiciled purchaser for a promissory note secured by a pledge of the Milestone China Shares,and received a 10-year option to repurchase the Milestone China Shares at the same price as the purchase price paid for the Milestone China Shares within the first two years andat fair market value (as defined in such agreement) for the remainder of the 10-year term.

As of March 2, 2018, the promissory note was in default. If Milestone Scientific exercises its rights as a secured party it may be obligated to return to the purchaser up to the

$250,000 received for the Milestone China Shares as surplus. At this time Milestone Scientific has not received a response from the purchaser of the Milestone China Shares,Milestone Scientific has not recorded any financial benefit from the sale of Milestone China Shares to date.

In November 2012, Milestone Scientific signed an exclusive distributor and marketing agreement with a well-known U.S. domestic manufacturer and distributor, for the sale

and distribution of the Wand STA System and handpieces in the United States and Canada. The marketing initiative included participation in United States and Canadian dentalshows, as well as pediatric dental shows; an active advertising initiative targeting major dental publications; and direct mailing campaigns to over 150,000 dentists across theUnited States and Canada. This exclusive distributor and marketing agreement was converted to a non-exclusive agreement as of December 31, 2016.

Beginning January 1, 2016, Milestone Scientific entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein. In June 2016, that agreement was replaced by a new

agreement with Henry Schein providing for an exclusive distribution arrangement for our dental products in the United States and Canada by a newly formed marketing and salesgroup at Henry Schein. Under this arrangement, we have a semi-dedicated independent sales force visiting dentists. Henry Schein’s exclusive products sales specialist team, whichis comprised of 25 sales representatives and supported by over 1,000 field service representatives, will exclusively market and distribute the Wand STA System and handpieces,together with a select group of other devices in the United States and Canada. Our agreement with Henry Schein has minimum purchase orders to maintain exclusivity in the thirdthrough tenth years. We believe that this exclusive arrangement will be more effective than previous arrangements relying on Wand Dental's appearances at dental shows andcatalog sales.

Medical Market

Having received FDA clearance to sell the CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System in June 2017, we are in discussions with a small number of regional

and national distributors. Our immediate focus is on marketing our epidural device throughout Europe. In February and March 2018 Milestone Scientific hired an Executive VP of Global Sales and Marketing and a Vice President of US Sales to fill a significant gap in our

commercialization efforts of the CompuFlo Epidural System. We have entered into a limited number of distributor arrangements in Europe and the Middle East for our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System. Our

distribution strategy is initially aimed at having KOLs use and accept the device and initiate their own studies.

Veterinary Market We are exploring various commercialization opportunities.

Patents and Intellectual Property

Milestone Scientific and its subsidiaries currently hold approximately 214 U.S. and foreign patents, and many patent applications. The Company’s patents and patentapplications relate to drug delivery methodologies, drug flow rate measurement, pressure/force computer-controlled drug delivery with exit pressure, dynamic pressure sensing,automated rate control, automated charging, drug profiles, audible and visual pressure/force feedback, tissue identification, drug delivery injection unit, drug drive unit foranesthetic, handpiece and injection device. Milestone Scientific and its subsidiaries also currently hold approximately 29 registered U.S. and foreign trademarks, includingCompuDent®, CompuFlo®, DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology®, Safety Wand®, STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System®, and The Wand®

Milestone Scientific relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trade secret, and trademark laws and employee and third party non-disclosure agreements to protect its

intellectual property rights. Despite the precautions taken by Milestone Scientific to protect products, unauthorized parties may attempt to reverse engineer, copy, or obtain and useproducts and information that Milestone Scientific regards as proprietary, or may design products serving similar purposes that do not infringe on Milestone Scientific’s patents.Milestone Scientific’s failure to protect its proprietary information and the expenses of doing so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and resultsof operations.

If Milestone Scientific’s products infringe upon patent or proprietary rights of others, we may be required to modify processes or to obtain licenses. There can be no

assurance that Milestone Scientific would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all. The failure to do so could have a material adverseeffect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Manufacturing

Milestone Scientific has informal arrangements with the manufacturer of the Wand STA System, epidural and intra-articular devices and with one of the principal manufacturersof the handpieces for those items, respectively. Pursuant to these informal arrangements, our third-party manufacturers manufacture the Wand STA System under specificpurchase orders without minimum purchase commitments, and at prices to be agreed upon in each such purchase order.

10

Page 11: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

Our agreement with the principal manufacturer of handpieces includes pricing terms. Milestone Scientific has been supplied by the manufacturer of the Wand STA System and

its predecessor, the CompuDent System, since the commencement of production in 1998, and by the manufacturer of its handpieces since 2003. The manufacturer of ourhandpieces is in the People’s Republic of China and the manufacturer of the device is in the United States. Changes to pricing of the Wand STA System by the manufacturer couldhave a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations. Termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of these third-partymanufacturers could significantly and adversely affect our ability to produce and sell the products. Though other alternate sources of supply for handpieces exist, MilestoneScientific would need to recover its existing tools or have new tools produced to establish relationships with new suppliers. Establishing new manufacturing relationships couldinvolve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruptions of the supply, whether as a result or termination of the relationship, would have a material adverse effect onour financial condition, business and results of operations.

Competition

Now, there is no subcutaneous drug delivery platform or device on the market regulating the flow rate and pressure of an injection capable of delivering a painlessinjection at the desired location like Milestone Scientific’s proprietary, patented devices having our DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology.

Milestone Scientific’s devices compete based on their performance characteristics and the benefits provided to the practitioner, patient and the business operations. Clinical

studies have shown that our devices reduce fear, pain and anxiety for many patients, and Milestone Scientific believes that they can reduce practitioner stress levels, as well.Other computer-controlled local anesthesia delivery (C-CLAD) options are the Quicksleeper and SleeperOne, from Dental Hi Tec, and the Comfort Control Syringe by Dentsply.

The Quicksleeper was invented in France by Dr. Alain Villette in 1991. It is marketed as the only local anesthetic delivery device in France that allows the ability to

perform all intraoral local anesthetic injection techniques, including osteocentral anesthesia, quickly and without failure. The extra feature that gives the Quicksleeper this abilityis a built-in motor in the syringe/handpiece that renders the syringe both an injector and a perforator of bone. That is, the handpiece of the Quicksleeper can perform anintraosseous injection via a motor driven perforation of the cortical plate of bone. A standard dental needle that attaches to the syringe spins as the motor rotates the handpiecethus acting as a perforator. However, the handpiece is relatively heavy, weighing 240 g. as compared to a standard syringe that weighs 80 g. Injection speed increases during theinjection, but the operator cannot control when the injection speed increases.

Another computer-controlled injection instrument is called the Comfort Control Syringe or CCS. In the early 1990s, Dr. Mark Smith, a dentist from Ontario, Canada,

invented a device that he incorporated into his practice as the local anesthetic delivery method. After perfecting the system, he released the rights of this device to Dentsply. Inthis system, many of the functions of the computer can be controlled directly from the syringe during the injection process. The base unit allows the dentist to program one offive different injections by pressing a single button. The five buttons marked on the base unit are block, infiltration, PDL, intraosseous and palatal. Each of these injections has aspecific corresponding rate of local anesthetic delivery associated with it. The CCS enables a wide range of injection speeds controlled by the operator and the ability to controlthe computer directly from the syringe, but, since the CCS computer can be controlled by hand, the syringe must contain a certain amount of electronic equipment and this addsbulk to its circumference. The circumference of the CCS syringe is 112mm compared to 36mm for a traditional syringe, and 17mm for the Wand STA System. In addition,because of the electronics in the syringe, the operator will feel a slight amount of vibration in the syringe while the injection occurs. This will not affect the anesthesia, but itcertainly is a feeling that is different from the traditional syringe or the Wand STA System, which both have no such vibration. The vibration in the Quicksleeper is minimal. Thisinstrument is no longer being marketed.

The newest competition is the Calajet instrument. This instrument is manufactured in Europe and has been very slow to grow market acceptances. It recently began

marketing in the USA with similar result. The instrument is a higher price than the Wand STA and does not provide the DPS software. Although a competitor, without a substantialdistribution network this instrument will have a difficult time to be successful in the USA.

Milestone Scientific’s proprietary, patented devices with its DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensing technology platform also compete with disposable and reusable syringes that

generally sell at lower prices and that use established and well-understood methodologies in both the dental and medical marketplaces.11

Page 12: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

Rapid technological change and research may affect our products. Current or new competitors could, at any time, intr oduce new or enhanced products with features thatrender our products less marketable or even obsolete. Therefore, Milestone Scientific must devote substantial efforts and financial resources to improve existing products, bringproducts to market quickly, and develop new products for related markets. In addition, the ability to compete successfully requires that Milestone Scientific establish an effectivedistribution network with a strong marketing plan. Any new products must be first approved by applicable regulatory authorities before they may be marketed. MilestoneScientific cannot assure that it can compete successfully, that competitors will not develop technologies or products that render our products less marketable or obsolete, or, thatMilestone Scientific will succeed in improving its existing products, effectively develop new products, or obtain required regulatory approval for those products.

Government Regulation

The manufacture and sale of medical devices and other medical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA pursuant to the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act

(“FDC Act”), and by other federal, state and foreign authorities. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive FDA clearance before they can be marketed commercially inthe United States. Some medical products must undergo rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing and an extensive FDA approval process before they can be marketed. Theseprocesses can take many years and require the expenditure of substantial resources. The time required for completing such testing and obtaining such approvals is uncertain, andFDA clearance may never be obtained. Delays or rejections may be encountered based upon changes in FDA policy during the period of product development and FDAregulatory review of each product submitted. Similar delays also may be encountered in other countries. Following the enactment of the Medical Device Amendments to the U.S.Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in May 1976, the FDA classified medical devices in commercial distribution into one of three classes. This classification is based on the controlsnecessary to reasonably ensure the safety and effectiveness of the medical devices. Class I devices are those devices whose safety and effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through generalcontrols, such as adequate labeling, pre-market notification, and adherence to the FDA’s Quality Instrument Regulation (“QSR”), also referred to as “Good ManufacturingPractices” (“GMP”) regulations. Some Class I devices are further exempted from some of the general controls. Class II devices are those devices whose safety and effectivenessreasonably can be ensured using special controls, such as performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries, and FDA guidelines. Class III devices are thosewhich must receive pre-market approval by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Generally, Class III devices are limited to life-sustaining, life-supporting orimplantable devices.

Pre-market Notification, the manufacturer or distributor may not place the device into commercial distribution until an order is issued by the FDA. By regulation, the FDAhas no specific time limit by which it must respond to a 510(k) Pre-market Notification. Currently, the FDA typically responds to the submission of a 510(k) Pre-marketNotification within 180 days. The FDA response may declare that the device is substantially equivalent to another legally marketed device and allow the proposed device to bemarketed in the United States. However, the FDA may determine that the proposed device is not substantially equivalent or may require further information, such as additional testdata, before the FDA is able to decide regarding substantial equivalence. Such determination or request for additional information could delay market introduction of products. If adevice that has obtained 510(k) Pre-market Notification clearance is changed or modified in design, components, method of manufacture, or intended use, such that the safety oreffectiveness of the device could be significantly affected, separate 510(k) Pre-market Notification clearance must be obtained before the modified device can be marketed in theUnited States. If a manufacturer or distributor cannot establish that a proposed device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device, the manufacturer or distributor willhave to seek pre-market approval of the proposed device, a more difficult procedure requiring extensive data, including pre-clinical and human clinical trial data, as well asextensive literature to prove the safety and efficacy of the device.

The FDA cleared the Wand, our CompuDent System and its disposable handpieces, for marketing in the United States for dental applications in July 1996; the

CompuMed® System for marketing in the United States for medical applications in May 2001; the Safety Wand® for marketing in the United States for dental applications inSeptember 2003; the Wand STA System for dental applications in August 2006; and our CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System in June 2017. For us tocommercialize other products in United States, Milestone Scientific would have to submit additional 510(k) applications to the FDA.

In 2017, the FDA reduced barrier to marketing clearance for certain dental devices. As such the entry into the dental market for other manufactures of injection devicesmay increase. However, any new device will be very limited in sales volume without a significant distributor in the dental market.

12

Page 13: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

Though certain dental devices have received FDA marketing clearance, there can be no assurance that any of the other medical devices under development will obtain therequired regulatory clearance in a timely manner, or at all. If regulatory clearance of a product is granted, such clearance may entail limitations on the indicated uses for whichthe product may be marketed. In addition, modifications may be made to the products to incorporate and enhance their functionality and performance based upon new data anddesign review. There can be no assurance that the FDA will not request additional information relating to product improvements; that any such improvements would not requirefurther regulatory review, thereby delaying the testing, approval and commercialization of product improvements; or, that ultimately any such improvements will receive FDAclearance.

Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and will be monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. Later discovery of

previously unknown problems with a product, manufacturer, or facility may result in restrictions on such product or manufacturer, including fines, delays or suspensions ofregulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

Milestone Scientific is subject to pervasive and continuing regulation by the FDA, whose regulations require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain QSR

requirements as defined by the FDC Act. QSR compliance requires testing, quality control and documentation procedures. Failure to comply with QSR requirements can result inthe suspension or termination of production, product recall or fines and penalties. Products also must be manufactured in registered establishments. In addition, labeling andpromotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. The export of devices is also subject to regulation incertain instances.

The Medical Device Reporting (“MDR”) regulation obligates us to provide information to the FDA on product malfunctions or injuries alleged to have been associated

with the use of the product or in connection with certain product failures that could cause serious injury. If, because of FDA inspections, MDR reports or other information, theFDA believes that Milestone Scientific is not in compliance with the law, the FDA can institute proceedings to detain or seize products, enjoin future violations, or assess civiland/or criminal penalties against us, our officers or employees. Any action by the FDA could result in disruption of operations for an undetermined amount of time.

In September 2014 we received CE mark approval for the marketing of the CompuFlo Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System, in each case allowing such

product to be marketed in most European countries and many other countries accepting CE approved devices. In July 2003, Milestone Scientific obtained regulatory approval tosell the CompuDent System and its handpieces in Australia and New Zealand. As of May 2014, the Wand STA System was approved for sale in China.

Employees

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had a total 14 full-time employees consisting of two executive officers of Milestone Scientific. Milestone Scientific also has a

consultant who serves as a Director of Clinical Affairs and a business development consultant.

None of our employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement and we believe our employee relations are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following factors may affect the growth and profitability of Milestone Scientific and should be considered by any prospective purchaser or current holder of our securities. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. We have a history of operating losses that are expected to continue, and we are unable to predict the extent of future losses, whether we will generate significantrevenues or whether we will achieve or sustain profitability.

We are a small, medical device company with a history of limited revenue and significant operating losses and our prospects must be considered considering theuncertainties, risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by similarly situated companies. With only one exception (i.e., 2013), we have generated net losses in allperiods since the commencement of our operations, including operating losses of approximately $5.2 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016,respectively. Overall, at December 31, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $78.6 million. We expect to make substantial expenditures and incur increasingoperating costs in the future and our accumulated deficit will increase significantly as we undertake to commercialize our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled AnesthesiaSystem. Our losses have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our working capital, total assets and stockholders' equity. Because of the risks anduncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses, whether we will ever generate significant revenues or if we will everachieve or sustain profitability

We require additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which may force us to delay, curtail or eliminate commercialization efforts of ourCompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System.

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, net cash flow used in operations was

approximately $ 1.2 million and approximately $5.4 million, respectively. We expect to continue to spend substantial amounts on product development and commercializationactivities, including the commercialization of our recently FDA-approved CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System. Until such time, if ever, as we cangenerate a sufficient amount of product revenue and achieve profitability, we expect to seek to finance future cash needs through equity or debt financings or corporatecollaboration and licensing arrangements. In addition, we may seek other alternatives to maximize the value of our intellectual property for dental applications, to focus more on,and finance, our medical applications. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we will have to delay, curtail or eliminate the commercialization of our CompuFlo® EpiduralComputer Controlled Anesthesia System, our efforts to obtain FDA approval of our intra-articular device and/or our product development and other commercialization efforts.

Raising additional funds by issuing securities or through licensing or lending arrangements may cause dilution to our existing stockholders, restrict our operations orrequire us to relinquish proprietary rights.

To the extent that we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the share ownership of existing stockholders will be diluted. Any future debt financing mayinvolve covenants that restrict our operations, including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, redeem our stock, make certain investments andengage in certain merger, consolidation or asset sale transactions, among other restrictions. In addition, if we raise additional funds through licensing arrangements or thedisposition of any of our assets, it may be necessary to relinquish potentially valuable rights to our product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Relying exclusively on third parties to manufacture our products, changes in our informal manufacturing arrangements made by the manufacturer of our devices anddisruptions at the manufacturing facility of our manufacturer exposes us to risks that may harm our business.

We have limited internal experience in manufacturing operations and have not historically established our own manufacturing facilities. We currently lack the internalresources to manufacture any of our products, including our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System. At present, we have an informal arrangement with themanufacturer of our products. While we have more than one manufacturer of the hand pieces for our devices, we only have a single manufacturer manufacturing our devices. Ourcurrent arrangement with such sole source of supply is on a purchase order by purchase order basis. As a result, we do not have price protection or a supply commitment for ourdevices. If the manufacturer insists on a material change in terms or determines to discontinue manufacture of our devices, it could have an adverse effect on our financialcondition and results of operation.

14

Page 15: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

An operational disruption in the facility of the manufacturer of our devices could negatively impact production and our financial results. The occurrence of a natural

disaster, such as a hurricane, tropical storm, earthquake, tornado, severe weather, flood, fire or other unanticipated problems such as labor difficulties, equipment failure orunscheduled maintenance could cause operational disruptions of varied duration. These types of disruptions could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results ofoperations to varying degrees dependent upon the facility, the duration of the disruption, our ability to shift business to another facility or find alternative sources of supply. Anylosses due to these events may not be covered by our existing insurance policies or may be subject to certain deductibles. Given our current manufacturing relationships, it ispossible that our manufacturing requirements may exceed the available supply allotments under our existing agreements. Our anticipated future reliance on third-partymanufacturers exposes us to the following additional risks:

We may be unable to identify manufacturers on acceptable terms or at all because the number of potential manufacturers is limited, and the FDA must approve any replacementcontractor. This approval would require new testing and compliance inspections. In addition, a new manufacturer would have to develop substantially equivalent processes forproduction of our products.

● Contract manufacturers might be unable to manufacture our products in the volume and of the quality required to meet our clinical and commercial needs. ● Contract manufacturers may not perform as agreed or may not remain in the contract manufacturing business for the time required to successfully produce, store

and distribute our products. ● Contract manufacturers are subject to ongoing periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and corresponding state agencies to ensure strict compliance with

current good manufacturing practice and other government regulations and corresponding foreign standards. We do not have control over third-partymanufacturers' compliance with these regulations and standards and our manufacturers may be found to be in noncompliance with certain regulations, which mayimpact their ability to manufacture our product.

● If any third-party manufacturer makes improvements in the manufacturing process for our products, we may not own, or may have to share, the intellectual

property rights to the innovation. We may be required to pay fees or other costs for access to such improvements Each of these risks could delay the commercialization of our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System, limit our available supply of The Wand® STA fordental applications, cause damage to our reputation, result in higher costs and/or deprive us of potential product revenues.

We depend on two principal manufacturers. If we cannot maintain our existing relationships or develop new ones, we may have to cease operations.

Milestone Scientific and its subsidiary has informal arrangements with the manufacturer of the Wand STA Instrument, CompuDent®, CompuMed® CompuFlo Epidural,

and CompuFlo Intra-Articular and with one of the principal manufacturers of the handpieces, for those items, respectively. Pursuant to the informal arrangements, theymanufacture these devices and handpieces under specific purchase orders without minimum purchase commitments. Milestone Scientific has a manufacturing agreement withone of the principal manufacturers, which is a related party, of its handpieces pursuant to which they manufacture products under specific purchase orders but without minimumpurchase commitments. Milestone Scientific has been supplied by the manufacturer of the Wand STA Instrument, CompuDent®, CompuMed® CompuFlo Epidural andCompuFlo Intra-Articular devices since the commencement of production in 1998, and the manufacturer of its handpieces since 2003.

However, termination of the manufacturing relationship with any of these manufacturers could significantly and adversely affect our ability to produce and sell these

products. Though other alternate sources of supply for handpieces exist, Milestone Scientific would need to recover its existing tools or have new tools produced to establishrelationships with new suppliers. Establishing new manufacturing relationships could involve significant expense and delay. Any curtailment or interruptions of the supply,whether as a result or termination of the relationship, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, business and results of operations.

15

Page 16: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

Issues with product quality could have a material adverse effect upon our business, subject us to regulatory actions and cause a loss of customer confidence in us or ourproducts.

In general, our success depends upon the quality of our products. Quality management plays an essential role in meeting customer requirements, preventing defects,

improving our products and services and assuring the safety and efficacy of our products. Our future success depends on our ability to maintain and continuously improve ourquality management program. A quality or safety issue may result in adverse inspection reports, warning letters, product recalls or seizures, monetary sanctions, injunctions to haltmanufacture and distribution of products, civil or criminal sanctions, costly litigation, refusal of a government to grant approvals and licenses, restrictions on operations orwithdrawal of existing approvals and licenses. An inability to address a quality or safety issue in an effective and timely manner may also cause negative publicity, a loss ofcustomer confidence in us or our current or future products, which may result in the loss of sales and difficulty in successfully launching new products.

We may be subject to product liability claims that are not f ully covered by insurance and that could put Milestone Scientific under financial strain.

Milestone Scientific could be subject to claims for personal injury from the alleged malfunction or misuse of the dental and medical products. While Milestone Scientific

carries liability insurance that is believed to be adequate, there is no assurance that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to pay such claims should they be successful. Apartially or completely uninsured claim, if successful and of significant magnitude, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results ofoperations. If physicians do not accept nor use our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System, our ability to generate revenue from sales will be materiallyimpaired.

Although the FDA has cleared our application to begin marketing the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System, this is no assurance that physicians,hospitals, clinics and other health care providers will accept and use it. Acceptance and use of the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System will depend onmany factors including:

● perceptions by members of the health care community, including physicians, about the safety and effectiveness of our product; ● cost-effectiveness of our product relative to competing products and systems; ● convenience, ease of use and reliability of our product relative to competing products and systems; ● patient satisfaction; ● product availability as well as, manufacturer warranty, maintenance, and customer and technical support; ● availability of reimbursement for our product from government or other healthcare payers; and ● effectiveness of marketing and distribution efforts by us and our licensees and distributors, if any.

Because we expect sales of the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System to generate substantially all our medical product revenues in the near-term,the failure of this product to find market acceptance would harm our business and could require us to seek additional financing or make such financing difficult to obtain onfavorable terms, if at all.

Developments by competitors may render our products or technologies obsolete or non-competitive.

The medical device industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. We expect that other companies (or individuals), whetherlocated in the United States or abroad, will pursue the development of alternative injection-based or imaging-based systems that will compete with our products. Many of thesepotential competitors have substantially greater capital resources, larger research and development staffs and facilities, longer product development history in obtaining regulatoryapprovals and greater manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do. These companies also compete with us to attract qualified personnel and parties for acquisitions, jointventures or other collaborations. As a result, we may not be able to compete effectively against these companies or their products.

If we are unable to adequately protect our patents, trade secrets and other proprietary rights, if our patents are challenged or if our provisional patent applications donot get approved, our competitiveness and business prospects may be materially damaged.

Intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, confidential information, trademarks, trade names and trade dress, are important to our busin ess. We willendeavor to protect our intellectual property rights in key jurisdictions in which our products are produced or used and in jurisdictions into which our products are imported. Oursuccess will depend to a significant degree upon our ability to protect and preserve our intellectual property rights. However, we may be unable to obtain or maintain protection forour intellectual property in key jurisdictions. Although we own and have applied for patents and trademarks throughout the world, we may have to rely on judicial enforcement ofour patents and other proprietary rights. Our patents and other intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented and rendered unenforceable or otherwisecompromised. A failure to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Similarly, thirdparties may assert claims against us and our customers and distributors alleging our products infringe upon third party intellectual property rights.

We believe that the intellectual property underlying our products is a competitive advantage. We rely on a combination of patent rights, trade secrets and nondisclosureand non-competition agreements to protect our proprietary intellectual property, and we will continue to do so. There can be no assurance that our patents, trade secret policies andpractices or other agreements will adequately protect our intellectual property. Our issued patents may be challenged, found to be over-broad or otherwise invalidated insubsequent proceedings before courts or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Even if enforceable, we cannot provide any assurances that they will provide significant protectionfrom competition. The processes, systems, and/or security measures we use to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets may be breached, and we maynot have adequate remedies resulting from such breaches. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. There canbe no assurance that the confidentiality, nondisclosure and non-competition agreements with employees, consultants and other parties with access to our proprietary information toprotect our trade secrets, proprietary technology, processes and other proprietary rights, or any other security measures relating to such trade secrets, proprietary technology,processes and proprietary rights, will be adequate, will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, that others will not independently developsubstantially equivalent proprietary information or that third parties will not otherwise gain access to our trade secrets or proprietary knowledge. To the extent that our consultants,contractors or collaborators use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions.

If we must take legal action to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights, any suits or proceedings could result in significant costs and diversion of our

resources and our management’s attention, and we may not prevail in any such suits or proceedings. A failure to protect, defend or enforce our intellectual property rights couldhave an adverse effect on our results of operations.

We could lose our market advantage earlier than expected.

We believe that our products represent a significant improvement over any existing drug delivery injection system in use today. However, this competitive advantage canevaporate quickly if we are not able to commercialize our products quickly. In the medical device industry, the majority of an innovative product’s commercial value is realizedduring the early stages of commercialization, before competing products are developed. Our market advantage is based, in part, on patent rights and the need for new competingproducts and systems to obtain regulatory approval before they can be commercialized. The scope of our patent rights may be limited and may also depend on the availability ofmeaningful legal remedies.

Our failure to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, through patents or otherwise, or limitations on the use or loss of such rights, could have a material adverse

effect on our ability to prevent the commercialization of competing anesthetic delivery systems. In some countries, basic patent protections for our products may not exist becausecertain countries did not historically offer the right to obtain specific types of patents and/or we (or our licensors) did not file in those markets. In addition, the patent environmentcan be unpredictable, and the validity and enforceability of patents cannot be predicted with certainty.

Third parties could obtain patents that may require us to negotiate licenses to commercialize our technologies, and we cannot assure you that the required licenseswould be available on reasonable terms or at all. Third parties may claim that one or more aspects of our technologies or products may infringe on their intellectual property rights.

Our computer-controlled anesthesia systems are complex systems and numerous U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in fields thatrelate to the development and commercialization of drug delivery systems. In addition, many companies have employed intellectual property litigation as a strategy to gain acompetitive advantage. It is possible that infringement claims may occur as the number of products and competitors in our market increases. In addition, to the extent that we gaingreater visibility and market exposure as a public company, we face a greater risk of being the subject of intellectual property infringement claims. We cannot be certain that theconduct of our business does not and will not infringe intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. If any of our computer-controlled anesthesia systems are found to infringe third party patent rights, we could be prohibited from manufacturing and commercializing the infringing technology unless weobtain a license under the applicable third-party patent and pay royalties or are able to design around such patent. We may be unable to obtain a license on terms acceptable to us,or at all, and we may not be able to redesign the system to avoid infringement. Even if we can redesign our products or processes to avoid an infringement claim, our efforts todesign around the patent could require significant time, effort and expense and ultimately may lead to an inferior or costlier product. Any claim of infringement by a third party,even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim and could distract our management from our business. Furthermore, if any suchclaim is successful, a court could order us to pay substantial damages, including compensatory damages for any infringement, plus prejudgment interest and could, in certaincircumstances, treble the compensatory damages and award attorney fees. These damages could be substantial and could harm our reputation, business, financial condition andoperating results. A court also could enter orders that temporarily, preliminarily or permanently prohibit us, our licensees, if any, and our customers from making, using, selling,offering to sell or importing one or more of our products or using our proprietary technologies or processes, or could enter an order mandating that we undertake certain remedialactivities. Any of these events could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are exposed to the risks inherent in international sales and operations.

In 2017, export sales outside of the United States made up approximately 57% of our total sales, and we sell our products to customers in approximately 53 countries. Wehave exposure to risks of operating in many foreign countries, including:

● fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, could increase the end user cost for instruments;● restrictions on, or difficulties and costs associated with, the currency exchange from foreign countries to obtain US dollars;● difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;● unexpected changes in political or regulatory environments;● political and economic instability;● import and export restrictions and other trade barriers;● difficulties in obtaining approval for significant transactions;

Continued instability in the credit and financial markets may negatively impact our ability to commercialize our products.

Financial markets in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia continue to experience disruption, including, among other things, significant volatility in securityprices, declining valuations of certain investments, as well as severely diminished liquidity and credit availability. Business activity across a wide range of industries and regionscontinues to be reduced. As a small medical device company, we rely on third parties for several important aspects of our business, including contract manufacturing ofproducts, distribution of our products and sales and marketing. These third parties may be unable to satisfy their commitments to us due to tightening of global credit from time totime, which would adversely affect our business. The continued volatility in the credit and financial market conditions may also negatively impact our ability to access capitaland credit markets and our ability to manage our cash balance. While we are unable to predict the continued duration and severity of any adverse conditions in the United Statesand other countries, any of the circumstances mentioned above could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow or cash position.

Our ability to commercialize our products will depend in part on the extent to which reimbursement will be available from governmental agencies, healthadministration authorities, private health maintenance organizations and health insurers and other healthcare payers.

Our ability to generate revenues from our products will be diminished if the products sell for inadequate prices or hospitals or physicians are unable to obtain adequate

levels of reimbursement for the cost they incur in connection with the use of the product. Significant uncertainty exists as to the reimbursement status of newly approvedhealthcare products. Healthcare payers, including Medicare, are challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. Government and other healthcare payersincreasingly attempt to contain healthcare costs by limiting both coverage and the level of reimbursement for products. Insurance coverage may not be available, orreimbursement levels may be inadequate, to cover the charges for the use of such product. If government and other healthcare payers do not provide adequate coverage andreimbursement for any of our products, market acceptance of such product could be reduced. Prices in many countries, including many in Europe, are subject to local regulationand price controls. In the United States, where pricing levels for medical products, procedures and services are substantially established by third-party payors, includingMedicare, if payors reduce the amount of reimbursement for a product, it may cause groups or individuals dispensing the product to discontinue use of the product, to substitutelower cost products even if the alternatives are less effective or to seek additional price-related concessions. These actions could have a negative effect on our financial results. The existence of direct and indirect price controls and pressures on our products could materially adversely affect our financial prospects and performance.

We are subject to substantial domestic and international government regulation, including regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and qualityprocesses. Failure by us to comply with these standards could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The FDA regulates the approval, manufacturing and sales and marketing of many of our products in the United States. Significant government regulation also exists in

other countries in which we conduct business. As a device manufacturer, we are required to register with the FDA and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA forcompliance with the FDA’s Quality System Regulation requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing, qualitycontrol and documentation procedures. In addition, the federal Medical Device Reporting regulations require us to provide information to the FDA whenever there is evidencethat reasonably suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death orserious injury. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. In theEuropean community, we are required to maintain certain ISO certifications to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections by notified bodies to obtain and maintainthese certifications. Failure to comply with current governmental regulations and quality assurance guidelines could lead to temporary manufacturing shutdowns, product recallsor related field actions, product shortages or delays in product manufacturing. Efficacy or safety concerns, an increase in trends of adverse events in the marketplace, and/ormanufacturing quality issues with respect to our products could lead to product recalls or related field actions, withdrawals, and/or declining sales.

We may be subject, directly or indirectly, to U.S. federal and state health care fraud and abuse and false claims laws and regulations. Prosecutions under such lawshave increased in recent years and we may become subject to such litigation. If we are unable to comply or have not fully complied with such laws, we could facesubstantial penalties.

Our operations are and will continue to be directly, or indirectly through our distributors, customers and health care professionals, subject to various U.S. federal and

state fraud and abuse laws, including, without limitation, the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, federal False Claims Act, and the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act of 1977 (“FCPA”).These laws may impact, among other things, our proposed sales, and marketing and education programs. The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits persons from knowinglyand willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing orarranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program such as Medicare or Medicaid. Several courts have interpreted the statute’sintent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal health care covered business, the statute has beenviolated. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad and, despite a series of narrow safe harbors, prohibits many arrangements and practices that are lawful in businesses outside of thehealth care industry. Penalties for violations of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute include criminal penalties and civil and administrative sanctions such as fines, imprisonment andpossible exclusion from Medicare, Medicaid and other federal health care programs. An alleged violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute may be used as a predicate offense toestablish liability pursuant to other federal laws and regulations such as the federal False Claims Act. Many states have also adopted laws like the federal Anti-Kickback Statute,some of which apply to the referral of patients for health care items or services reimbursed by any source, not only the Medicare and Medicaid programs.

19

Page 20: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

The federal False Claims Act prohibits persons from knowingly filing, or causing to be filed, a false claim to, or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from,

the federal government. Suits filed under the False Claims Act, known as “qui tam” actions, can be brought by any individual on behalf of the government and such individuals,commonly known as “relators” or “whistleblowers,” may share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. The frequency of filing qui tam actionshas increased significantly in recent years, causing greater numbers of medical device, pharmaceutical and health care companies to have to defend False Claim Act actions. TheAffordable Care Act includes provisions expanding the ability of certain relators to bring actions that would have been previously dismissed under prior law. When an entity isdetermined to have violated the federal False Claims Act, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus civil penalties for eachseparate false claim. The Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 encouraged states to enact or modify their state false claims act to be at least as effective as the federal False Claims Act bygranting states a portion of any federal Medicaid funds recovered through Medicaid-related actions. Most states have enacted state false claims laws, and many of those statesincluded laws with qui tam provisions.

The Affordable Care Act includes provisions known as the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which require manufacturers of drugs, biologics, devices and medical

supplies covered under Medicare and Medicaid to record any transfers of value to physicians and teaching hospitals and to report to the Centers for Medicare and MedicaidServices for subsequent public disclosure. Manufacturers must also disclose investment interests held by physicians and their family members. Failure to submit the requiredinformation may result in civil monetary penalties of up to $1 million per year for knowing violations and may result in liability under other federal laws or regulations. Similarreporting requirements have also been enacted on the state level in the United States, and an increasing number of countries worldwide either have adopted or are consideringsimilar laws requiring transparency of interactions with health care professionals. In addition, some states, such as Massachusetts and Vermont, impose an outright ban on certaingifts to physicians. These laws could affect our promotional activities by limiting the kinds of interactions we could have with hospitals, physicians or other potential purchasers orusers of our products. Both the disclosure laws and gift bans will impose administrative, cost and compliance burdens on us. If we are found to be in violation of any of the lawsdescribed above and other applicable state and federal fraud and abuse laws, we may be subject to penalties, including civil and criminal penalties, damages, fines, or anadministrative action of suspension or exclusion from government health care reimbursement programs and the curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

In addition, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) and other countries’ anti-corruption/anti-bribery regimes, such as the U.K. Bribery Act. The FCPA

prohibits improper payments or offers of payments to foreign governments and their officials for obtaining or retaining business. Safeguards we implement to discourage improperpayments or offers of payments by our employees, consultants, sales agents or distributors may be ineffective, and violations of the FCPA and similar laws may result in severecriminal or civil sanctions, or other liabilities or proceedings against us, any of which would likely harm our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Excessive returns under our Exclusive Distribution and Supply Agreement with Henry Schein, Inc. could have a material adverse effec t on our business, financialcondition and results of operations.

In June 2016, we entered into a new exclusive distribution and supply agreement with Henry Schein pursuant to which they were appointed as the exclusive distributor for

our dental products in the United States and Canada. Under that agreement, Henry Schein has a right to return our products for full credit against the purchase price paid by themunder limited circumstances in accordance with such agreement, including but not limited to, returns due to shipment error by us or factory defect. Excessive returns during anycalendar year could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in laws and regulations over which we have no control can significantly affect our business and results of operations.

Any governmental entity that regulates our operations in the country in which they are located may enact new legislation or adopt new laws and regulations or policies at

any time, and new judicial decisions may change the interpretation of existing legislation or regulations at any time in any of the countries in which our operations or projects arelocated. We have no control over any such changes. Any new laws or regulations governing our operations could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations andprospects.

We rely on the continuing services of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Director of Clinical Affairs.

We depend on the personal efforts and abilities of our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Director of Clinical Affairs. Milestone Scientific maintains a key man life

insurance policy in the amount of $1,000,000 on the life of its Interim Chief Executive Officer. However, the loss of his services or the services of our Director of Clinical Affairs,on whom we maintain no insurance, could have a materially adverse effect on our business results of operations and prospects.

Milestone Scientific is effectively controlled by a limited number of stockholders.

Milestone Scientific’s principal stockholders, Leonard Osser, Gian Domenico Trombetta and K. Tucker Andersen beneficially own approximately 39.68% of the issued

and outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, they can exercise substantial control over our affairs and corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, including electingdirectors, selling all or substantially all our assets, merging with another entity or amending our certificate of incorporation. This de facto control could delay, deter or prevent achange in control and could adversely affect the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for Milestone Scientific’s securities. In addition, because of theconcentration of ownership of our shares of common stock, our stockholders may from time to time, observe instances where there may be less liquidity in the public markets forour securities.

Adherence to Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC rules concerning internal controls may be costly and compliance could have an adverse effect on Milestone Scientific.

The management of Milestone Scientific has assessed the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment,

management used the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).Milestone Scientific complied with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements to include in the annual report a management report on the effectiveness of the internal control over financialreporting. In 2017 and 2016, Milestone Scientific utilized an outside consultant on a quarterly basis to review compliance with the internal controls over financial reporting. Thisexpense amounted to approximately $15,000 and $20,000 in 2017 and 2016, respectively and the cost is expected to continue in 2018. The market price of our common stock may be volatile and may fluctuate in a way that is disproportionate to our operating performance. Our stock price may experience substantial volatility because of many factors, including:

● sales or potential sales of substantial amounts of our common stock; ● delay or failure in initiating our strategy to commercialize our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System; ● the success of our strategy to commercialize our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System; ● announcements about us or about our competitors, including clinical trial results, regulatory approvals or new product introductions that could adversely impact

the market acceptance or competitive advantages of our CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System; ● developments concerning our licensors or product manufacturers; ● litigation and other developments relating to our patents or other proprietary rights or those of our competitors; ● our ability to successfully develop and commercialize to products and services for the healthcare industry; ● conditions in the medical device industries; ● governmental regulation and legislation; ● variations in our anticipated or actual operating results; and ● change in securities analysts’ estimates of our performance, or our failure to meet analysts’ expectations.

Many of these factors are beyond our control. The stock markets in general, and the market for small, medical device companies have historically experienced extreme

price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of these companies. These broad market andindustry factors could reduce the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common stock.

Almost all our 33,191,571 outstanding shares of common stock, as well as a substantial number of shares of our common stock underlying outstanding warrants, areavailable for sale in the public market, either freely or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In addition, we have an effective S-3 registrationstatement on file with the SEC covering the sale by us of up to $30 million of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, debt, convertible debt and warrants. To date, wehave sold $3,435,775 (2,452,900 shares) of common stock under that registration statement. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, or the perception thatsuch sales may occur, may adversely impact the price of our common stock

We have never paid and do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, will be your sole source of gain.

We have never paid cash divi dends on any of our capital stock and we currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of ourbusiness. In addition, the terms of existing and future debt agreements may preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock willbe your sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware law might discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company or changes in ourmanagement and, therefore, depress the trading price of our common stock.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws and Delaware law may have the effect of deterring unsolicited takeovers or delaying or prevent ing a change incontrol of our company or changes in our management, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then currentmarket prices. In addition, these provisions may limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. These provisions include:

● the inability of stockholders to call special meetings; and the ability of our Board of Directors to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock

without stockholder approval, which could include the right to approve an acquisition or other change in our control or could be used to institute a rights plan, alsoknown as a poison pill, that would work to dilute the stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved byour Board of Directors; and

● limitations on filling of vacancies could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of our

company. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an

interested stockholder, generally a person which together with its affiliates owns, or within the last three years, has owned 15% of our voting stock, for a period of three years afterthe date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. The existence of theforgoing provisions and anti-takeover measures could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. They could also deterpotential acquirers of our company, thereby reducing the likelihood that you could receive a premium for your common stock in an acquisition.

If we fail to adhere to the strict listing requirements of NYSE American, we may be subject to delisting. As a result, our stock price may decline, and our common stockmay be delisted. If our stock were no longer listed on NYSE American, the liquidity of our securities likely would be impaired.

Our common stock currently trades on the NYSE American under the symbol “MLSS”. If we fail to adhere to NYSE American's strict listing criteria, including withrespect to stock price, our market capitalization and stockholders’ equity, our stock may be delisted. This could potentially impair the liquidity of our securities not only in thenumber of shares that could be bought and sold at a given price, which may be depressed by the relative illiquidity, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and thepotential reduction in media coverage. As a result, an investor might find it more difficult to dispose of our common stock. Any failure at any time to meet the continuing NYSEAmerican listing requirements could have an adverse impact on the value of and trading activity in our common stock. Although we currently satisfy the listing criteria for NYSEAmerican, if our stock price declines, we could be at risk of falling below NYSE American continuing listing criteria.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussions of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to those statementsincluded elsewhere in this annual report. Certain statements in this discussion and elsewhere in this report constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of section21E of the Exchange Act, that involve risks and uncertainties. The actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. See "RiskFactors" elsewhere in this Form 10-K. OVERVIEW Our common stock was listed on the NYSE American on June 1, 2015 and trades under the symbol “MLSS”. We have developed a proprietary, computer-controlledanesthetic delivery instrument, using The Wand®, a single use disposable handpiece. The instrument is marketed in dentistry under the trademark CompuDent®, and STA SingleTooth Anesthesia System® and in medicine under the trademark CompuMed®. CompuDent® is suitable for all dental procedures that require local anesthetic. CompuMed® issuitable for many medical procedures regularly performed in plastic surgery, hair restoration surgery, podiatry, colorectal surgery, dermatology, orthopedics and several otherdisciplines. The dental instruments are sold in the United States, Canada, and in over 53 other countries abroad. There have been no medical instruments sold in the United Statesand limited amounts sold internationally as of the reporting date. Certain of our medical instruments have obtained European CE mark approval and can be marketed and sold inmost European countries. In June 2017, the FDA approved our 510(k) applications for marketing clearance in the United States of our CompuFlo® Epidural ComputerControlled Anesthesia System. We are in the process of introductory meetings with medical device distributors within the United States and foreign markets.

In 2017, we remained focused on advancing efforts to achieve our three primary objectives; those being:

● Worldwide distribution of the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System.● Identify distributors in the United States for the Epidural instruments, now that FDA clearance has been received;● Complete the Cosmetic device and obtain European Regulatory Approve (CE market clearance)

Wand STA Instrument Growth Since its market introduction in early 2007, the Wand STA Instrument and prior C-CLAD products have been used to deliver over 66 million safe, effective andcomfortable injections. The instrument has also been favorably evaluated in numerous peer-reviewed, published clinical studies and associated articles. Moreover, there appearsto be a growing consensus among users that the STA Instrument is proving to be a valuable and beneficial instrument that is positively impacting the practice of dentistryworldwide. Global Distribution Network United States and Canadian Market Beginning January 1, 2016, Milestone Scientific entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein, Inc. (“Henry Schein”). In June 2016, thatagreement was replaced with an exclusive distribution arrangement for our dental products for the United States and Canada with Henry Schein. Under this arrangement we havea semi-dedicated independent sales force visiting dentists. We believe that this arrangement will be more effective than previous arrangements which primarily reliedupon appearances at dental shows and catalog sales. To date, Henry Schein has endeavored to accomplish the goals set forth in the exclusive distribution agreement for The Wand® STA instrument and handpieces, includingtraining of its exclusive products sales specialists. Specifically, 25 exclusive product sales specialists have now been fully trained as experts in the features, advantages andbenefits of The Wand® STA instrument and handpieces and all 25 are currently in the field selling the instrument. Henry Schein also plans to train an additional customer service representative to support dentists across North America through its exclusive product sales customer callcenter, as business volume increases.

International Market

On the global front, we have granted exclusive marketing and distribution rights for the Wand STA Instrument to select dental suppliers in various international regions in

Asia, Africa, South America and Europe. They include Istrodent (Pty) Ltd. in South Africa and Unident AB in the Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway andIceland.

In October 2012, the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) of the People ’s Republic of China approved our Wand STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System® (STA

System). In May 2014, the CFDA also approved the Wand STA handpieces for sale in China. In September 2014, Milestone Medical received CE clearance to distribute their epidural and intra-articular instruments in the European Community (EU). Milestone

Medical signed a distribution agreement in March 2015 with a medical distributor in Poland for the distribution of the epidural instrument. This distribution agreement wasterminated in late 2016 due to the distributor’s inadequate performance under the distribution agreement. Milestone Medical is continuing to pursue distributors for the instrumentin the EU community.

In June 2014, Milestone Scientific invested $1 million in Milestone China Ltd. (“Milestone China”) by contributing 772 STA Instruments to Milestone China for a 40%

ownership interest. Milestone Scientific recorded this investment under the equity method of accounting. Milestone Scientific recorded a loss on its investment in Milestone Chinaof $0 and $164,837 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively exclusive of deferral of gross profit. Milestone Scientific's investment in Milestone China was $0 as ofDecember 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Milestone Scientific incurred cumulative losses beyond its investment in Milestone China of $3,147,470 and $1,124,350as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which have been suspended.

In June 2017, Milestone Scientific entered into an agreement for the sale of its interest in Milestone China (a forty (40%) percent interest) (the “Milestone China Shares”) to

an unaffiliated United States domiciled purchaser and a 10-year option agreement to repurchase the Milestone China Shares. The purchase price for the Milestone China Shareswas $1,400,000 of which $125,000 was paid in cash and $1,275,000 was paid by delivery of a non-interest bearing secured promissory note. The note is payable in quarterlyinstallments of $125,000 until paid in full and is secured by the Milestone China Shares until full repayment. In addition, pursuant to such note, the purchaser is precluded fromselling all or substantially all its assets prior to repayment of the note. The 10-year option agreement provides Milestone Scientific an option to repurchase the Milestone ChinaShares at $1,400,000 within the first two years and at fair market value (as defined in such agreement) for the remainder of the 10-year term. The transaction has been accountedfor as a secured financing and Milestone Scientific will continue to account for its relationship with Milestone China under the equity method of accounting. A note receivable ispresented on the Company’s balance sheet, along with a deferral from financing transaction ($1,400,000). The carrying value of the forty (40%) percent investment at thetransaction date was zero.

The sale of the Milestone China Shares allows Milestone Scientific to continue to expand in the China market by supplying Milestone China with the STA Single Tooth

Anesthesia System® and related hand pieces, while eliminating the burden on Milestone Scientific's management as a 40% minority owner. Milestone Scientific believes that thesale will provide Milestone China with a new partner that may accelerate its penetration of the China market.

As of March 2, 2018, the promissory note was in default. If Milestone Scientific exercises its rights as a secured party it may be obligated to return to the purchaser up to the

$250,000 received for the Milestone China Shares as surplus. At this time Milestone Scientific has not received a response from the purchaser of the Milestone China Shares,Milestone Scientific has not recorded any financial benefit from the sale of Milestone China Shares to date.

Milestone Scientific plans to support increased sales and marketing activity through our current distributors and through newly appointed distributors of the Wand STA

instruments and handpieces in the international market. In the United States and Canada, Milestone Scientific will continue the utilization of independent hygienists for trainingindividual practitioners and group practices domestically, refined and directed advertising to dental professionals, continue to develop Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and support andbroaden our global distribution network. Additionally, with the recent FDA marketing clearance for the epidural instrument, Milestone Scientific is initiating marketing and salesefforts in the US to establish medical sector distributors for the sale of this instrument

In February and March 2018 Milestone Scientific hired an Executive VP of Global Sales and Marketing and a Vice President of US Sales to fill a significant gap in our

commercialization efforts of the CompuFlo Epidural System. Current Product Platform See Item 1. Description of Business. Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates Milestone Scientific's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon its consolidated financial statements that have been preparedin accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and include the accounts of its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiariesincluding, Wand Dental, Milestone Advanced Cosmetic and Milestone Medical. Milestone Education is a variable interest entity of which Milestone Scientific is the primarybeneficiary and is consolidated into Milestone Scientific's financial statements. All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation.

26

Page 27: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues andexpenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, Milestone Scientific evaluates its estimates, including those related to accountsreceivable, inventories, stock-based compensation and contingencies. Milestone Scientific bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not clearfrom other sources. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

While significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note C to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, Milestone Scientificbelieves that the following accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates are most critical in understanding and evaluating the reported financial results. Assessment of our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Our management has made various estimates in assessing our ability to continue as a going concern as of the report date of our independent auditor's report included in thisForm 10-K. These estimates include, an increase in the revenues generated by Wand Dental because of the new distribution agreement with Henry Schein, an increase ininternational revenue, (non-China) a reduction in our profit margins due to the nature of the distribution relationships with both Henry Schein and Milestone China, and reductionour selling, general and administrative costs for one-time expenses incurred during 2017. Based on this assessment, management believes that our cash on hand, accountsreceivable and the anticipated revenues from the dental business will be sufficient to fund our business operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Form10-K. Accounts Receivable

Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its products on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customersto make payments on amounts billed. Most of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing. Milestone Scientific has not incurred any significant credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on hand arereviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales, potential technological obsolescenceand product expiration requirement and regulations.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Milestone Scientific reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances (i.e. a triggering event) indicate that the carrying amounts may not berecoverable. The carrying value of the assets is evaluated in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Milestone Scientificadjusts the net book value of an underlying asset if its fair value is determined to be less than its net book value. There have been no impairment indicators or triggering events andtherefore there was no impairment as of December 31, 2017.

Revenue Recognition Revenue from product sales is recognized, net of discounts and allowances to domestic distributors, on the date of shipment for substantially all shipments, since theshipment terms are FOB warehouse. Milestone Scientific recognizes revenue on date of arrival of the goods at the customer's location, where shipments are FOB destination. Inall cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the collectability is reasonably assured. Further, Milestone Scientific has no obligation on these sales for any post installation, set-upor maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific's only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects ifthe alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period. Devices and hand pieces are not bundled but rather sold separately and, as such, there are no multiple elementdeterminations in connection with the revenue recognition

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth for the consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to 2016 as a percentage of revenues. The trendssuggested by this table may not be indicative of future operating results:

Year ended December 31, 2017 compared to year ended December 31, 2016 Net sales for 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

2017 % of Revenue 2016 % Increase (Decrease)

Consolidated revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $11.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Dental revenue for the

twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $11.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively. Dental revenues increased by approximately $819,000which was principally related to increased handpiece sales in the United States and Canada sales by approximately $2 million in 2017 to 2016. International sales in 2017decreased by approximately $1.2 million over the same period in 2016 due to a reduction in shipments to Milestone China. The reductions in shipments to Milestone China is dueto Milestone China working through inventory purchases from late 2016 and the modification to their business strategy to better serve the China dental market. However, in thedomestic market our exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein increased domestic sales in 2017 as the product and sales force training has been substantiallycompleted as of December 31, 2017. Medical revenue for the twelve months ended December31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $2,000 and $21,000, respectively. On June12, 2017 the company announced that the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System received 510(k) marketing clearances from the U.S. Food and DrugAdministration (FDA). Milestone is in the process of attending medical device trade shows and attending introductory meetings with medical device distributors within theUnited States and European markets. The Company’s focus is on marketing its Epidural devices throughout Europe.

Consolidated gross profit for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately 62% and 60%, respectively. Dental gross profit for the twelve

months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $7.2 million and $6.3 million, respectively. Dental gross margin for the twelve months ended December 31,2017 was 64%, which increased from 60% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016. The increase in gross profit relates to the increase in US sales which was offset byspecial pricing in China to facilitate an increase in market share.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

2017 % 2016 % Increase

(Decrease) $ % of Change Dental $ 3,968,747 33.26% $ 4,080,627 35.33% $ (111,880) -2.74%Medical 2,046,141 17.15% 2,716,970 23.52% (670,829) -24.691%Corporate 5,916,063 49.59 4,752,364 41.15% 1,163,699 24.49%Total $ 11,930,951 100.00% $ 11,549,961 100.00% $ 380,984 3.30%

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $12 million versus $11.5 million,

respectively. The increase of approximately $536,000 is predominantly due to the increase in Corporate expenses, as Milestone Scientific began the process of increasing thebusiness platform in the medical segment growth.

Consolidated research and development expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $273,000 and $1,270,000, respectively.

The decrease is due to reduction in development costs associated with the epidural and intra articular devices. Profit (Loss) from Operations for 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

The loss from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $5.2 million and $6.5 million, respectively, a decrease ofapproximately $1.3 million. This decrease is primarily attributable to the increase in Corporate expenses relating to our epidural and intra articular devices in 2017 offset by anincrease in gross profit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2017, Milestone Scientific had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.6 million, total current assets of approximately $12 million and working

capital of approximately $5.3 million. We believe that our cash on hand, accounts receivable and the anticipated revenues from the dental business will be sufficient to fund ourbusiness operations for at least the next 12 months from the filing date of this Form 10-K.

Milestone Scientific continues to take positive steps to maintain adequate inventory levels and advances on contracts to maintain available inventory to meet our domestic

and international sales requirements. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had negative cash flows from operating activities of approximately $1.2million and $5.4 million, respectively.

Milestone Scientific has incurred annual operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities since its inception. The capital raised in December 2016 and

January 2017 provided Milestone Scientific with working capital to continue to develop its medical devices and obtain regulatory approval for one of its medical devices (the June2017 FDA approval of the epidural device), as well as to aggressively market its dental devices. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows fromoperating activities through an increase in revenue from its dental business worldwide, and a reduction in operating expenses. Management believes that the Company will havesufficient cash and liquidity to meet its anticipated obligations over the next twelve-month period following the date of this report.

Now that the CompuFlo Epidural System has obtained FDA clearance in the United States (June 2017), the development costs will be reduced in 2018. The FDA clearance

will provide the Company with the opportunity to establish distribution in the USA. At the same time, the Company and its parent are looking to establish additional financingopportunity for the Epidural device sales. The intra-articular device will begin the 510K application process later this year. Most of the cost associated with this application will beinternal personnel cost and some low level third party review expense.

Milestone Scientific believes that the FDA clearance of its 510(k) application with respect to the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia will provide

Milestone Scientific with the opportunity to enter the US medical device market and generate revenues in the future. Milestone Scientific believes that it has sufficient inventory ofthe epidural devices to satisfy the near-term marketing opportunities.

In February and March 2018 Milestone Scientific hired an Executive VP of Global sales and Marketing and a Vice President of US Sales to fill a significant gap in our

commercialization efforts of the CompuFlo Epidural System. Milestone Scientific believes that the June 2016 exclusive distribution agreement with Henry Schein will continue to improve its domestic revenues in 2018. The dental

agreement has provided a substantial increase in US and Canada 2017 dental revenue (approximately $2 million). To further reduce Milestone Scientific's expenditures, MilestoneMedical is carefully managing expenses related to obtaining FDA clearance for the intra-articular devices. The CompuFlo Epidural System received FDA 510K approval in June2017. By limiting the FDA related expenses and increasing the dental device revenue through the dental distribution agreement, our estimated cash flow projection of theconsolidated company and its subsidiaries, management believes that Milestone Scientific will have resources to fund its operations over the next 12 months from the filing date ofthis Form 10-K.

Our Consolidated Balance Sheets included in this Report reflects a decrease of approximately $1.3 million in current assets from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.

This decrease in current assets was primarily due to a reduction in cash ($1 million), accounts receivable from related parties, other receivables and inventory of approximately $2.2million. This was offset by an increase in accounts receivable, deferred cost, note receivable and prepaid expenses and other current assets of an aggregate of approximately$1.9 million.

In this Report our consolidated balance sheets included reflects increase in current liabilities by approximately $1.1 million from approximately $5.6 million to

approximately $6.7 million. The increase is primarily due to a decrease in accounts payable of approximately $364,000, accounts payable related party of approximately $249,000,an increase deferred revenue of approximately $844,000 and an increase in accrued expenses of approximately $850,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Milestone Scientific does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are currently material or reasonably likely to be material to the financial position or results of

operations.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Milestone Scientific is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and, as such, is not required to provide the information required by this item. Item 8. Financial Statements The financial statements of Milestone Scientific required by this Item are set forth beginning on page F-1. Item 9. Change in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Milestone Scientific’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of Milestone Scientific’sdisclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation,Milestone Scientific’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2017 areeffective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports Milestone Scientific files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized andreported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Milestone Scientific's management,including the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Milestone Scientific management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting. The internal controls over financial reportingincludes those policies and procedures that:

● Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets;

● Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the financial statements in accordance with generally acceptedaccounting principles in the United States, and that the receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the management and directors;and

● Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets that could have a material effect on

the financial statements.

31

Page 32: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to futureperiods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures maydeteriorate. All internal control instruments, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those instruments determined to be effective can provide onlyreasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control, there is a risk that materialmisstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of thefinancial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

Milestone Scientific management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017. In making this assessment,management used the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”)adopted in 2013. Based on the assessment and the criteria set forth by COSO, management believes that Milestone Scientific maintained effective internal control over financialreporting as of December 31, 2017. There have been no changes in Milestone Scientific’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during MilestoneScientific’s last fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, Milestone Scientific’s internal controlsover financial reporting.

On December 19 ,2017 the Board of Directors appointed Leonard Osser Interim Chief Executive Officer, replacing Leslie Bernhard. Mr. Osser will enter into a similar

Objective of Executive Compensation Program The primary objective of the executive compensation program is to attract and retain qualified, energetic managers who are enthusiastic about the mission and culture ofMilestone Scientific. A further objective of the compensation program is to provide incentives and reward each manager for their contribution. In addition, Milestone Scientificstrives to promote an ownership mentality among key leadership and the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves, or in some cases recommends for the approval of the full Board of Directors, the annual compensation procedures forthe Named Executive Officers. The compensation program is designed to reward teamwork, as well as each manager’s individual contribution. In measuring the Named Executive Officers’ contribution,the Compensation Committee considers numerous factors including the growth, strategic business relationships and financial performance. Regarding most compensationmatters, including executive and director compensation, the management provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committeedoes not delegate any of its functions to others in setting compensation. Milestone Scientific does not currently engage any consultant to advice on executive and/or directorcompensation matters. Stock price performance has not been a factor in determining annual compensation because the price of Milestone Scientific’s common stock is subject to a variety offactors outside of Milestone Scientific’s control. Milestone Scientific does not have an exact formula for allocating between cash and non-cash compensation. Annual CEO Compensation consists of a base salary component and periodic stock option grants. It is the Compensation Committee’s intention to set totals for the CEO forcash compensation sufficiently high enough to attract and retain a strong motivated leadership team, but not so high that it creates a negative perception with the otherstakeholders. The CEO receives stock option grants under the stock option plan. The number of stock options granted to the executive officer is made on a discretionary ratherthan a formula basis by the Compensation Committee. The CEO’s current and prior compensation is considered in setting future compensation. In addition, Milestone Scientificreviews the compensation practices of 28 other companies. To some extent, the compensation plan is based on the market and the companies that compete for executivemanagement. The elements of the plan (e.g., base salary, bonus and stock options) are like the elements used by many companies. The exact base pay, stock option grant, andbonus amounts are chosen to balance the competing objectives of fairness to all stakeholders and attracting and retaining executive managers.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors andStockholders of Milestone Scientific, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Milestone Scientific, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the relatedconsolidated statements of operations, statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2017, and therelated notes (collectively referred to as the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, thefinancial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period endedDecember 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company ’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financialstatements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to beindependent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commissionand the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whetherthe financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of itsinternal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose ofexpressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures thatrespond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our auditsalso included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financialstatements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ Friedman LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2016East Hanover, New JerseyApril 2, 2018

MILESTONE SCIENTIFIC INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

All references in this report to “Milestone Scientific,” “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “Milestone” refer to Milestone Scientific Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries,Wand Dental, Inc., Milestone Advanced Cosmetic Systems, Inc., Milestone Medical, Inc. and Milestone Education LLC (all described below), unless the context otherwiseindicates. Milestone Scientific is the owner of the following registered U.S. trademarks: CompuDent®; CompuMed®; CompuFlo®; DPS Dynamic Pressure Sensingtechnology®; Milestone Scientific ®; the Milestone logo ®; SafetyWand®; STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System®; and The Wand ®.

Milestone Scientific was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August 1989. Milestone Scientific has developed a proprietary, computer-controlled anesthetic delivery

device, using The Wand®, a single use disposable handpiece. The device is marketed in dentistry under the trademark CompuDent®, and STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System®and in medicine under the trademark CompuMed®. CompuDent® is suitable for all dental procedures that require local anesthetic. CompuMed® is suitable for many medicalprocedures regularly performed in Plastic Surgery, Hair Restoration Surgery, Podiatry, Colorectal Surgery, Dermatology, Orthopedics and many other disciplines. The dentaldevices are sold in the United States, Canada and in 53 other countries. To date there have been no medical devices sold in the United States and limited amounts soldinternationally, although certain medical devices have obtained CE mark approval and can be marketed and sold in most European countries. In June 2017, Milestone Scientificreceived 510(k) marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System (“Epidural”).

During 2016, Milestone Scientific filed for 510(k) marketing clearance with the FDA for both intra-articular and epidural injections with the CompuFlo® Computer

Controlled Anesthesia System. In June 2017, the FDA approved the CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System for epidural injections. Milestone Scientificis in the process of introductory meetings with medical device distributors within the United States and foreign markets. Milestone Scientific’s immediate focus is on marketingits epidural device throughout the United States and Europe.

In December 2016, we received notification from the FDA that based upon the 510(k)-application submitted for intra- articular injections, we did not adequately document

that the device met the equivalency standard required for 510(k) clearances. Following consultation with the FDA Office of Device Evaluation, we intend to file a new 510(k)application for the device in 2018.

On July 13, 2017, Milestone Scientific consummated an asset acquisition under an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with APAD Octrooi B.V. and APAD

B.V. (each, a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) pursuant to which Milestone Scientific acquired certain patent rights and other intellectual property rights related to theSellers’ computer-controlled injection device (the “Purchased Assets”.)

NOTE B- LIQUIDITY AND UNCERTAINTIES

In accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, the Company has evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantialdoubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued. Milestone Scientific hasincurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities in virtually each year since its inception. The capital raised in December 2016 and January 2017provided Milestone Scientific with working capital to continue to develop its medical devices and obtain regulatory approval for one of its medical devices (the June 2017 FDAapproval of the epidural device), as well as to market its dental devices. Milestone Scientific is actively pursuing the generation of positive cash flows from operating activitiesthrough an increase in revenue from its dental business worldwide, the generation of revenue from its medical devices and disposables business in the United States (followingJune 2017 FDA approval of its CompuFlo® Epidural Computer Controlled Anesthesia System ("Epidural") and worldwide, and a reduction in operating expenses.

Management believes that Milestone Scientific will have sufficient cash reserves to meet its anticipated obligations over the next twelve months from the filing of this form

10K. However, Milestone Scientific will likely need to raise additional capital prior to the expected generation of sustainable positive cash flow from operating activities and mayalso need to raise additional capital to effectively launch its approved Epidural Device and eventually generate positive cash flow from the anticipated medical business.

F-7

Page 53: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

The Company is subject to several risks similar to those of development stage companies, including dependence on key individuals and products, the difficulties inherent

in the development of a commercial market, the potential need to obtain additional capital necessary to fund the development of its products, competition from larger companies,and other medical device companies that develop similar or substitute products. The Company's sales performance, selling and marketing expenditures to develop salesperformance, as well as the status of each of its new product development programs and the resulting operating income (loss), will significantly impact its cash requirements. NOTE C — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") andinclude the accounts of Milestone Scientific and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries, including, Wand Dental (wholly owned), Milestone Advanced Cosmetic(majority owned) and Milestone Medical (majority owned). Milestone Education is a variable interest entity of which Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary and isconsolidated into Milestone Scientific's financial statements. All significant, intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. 2. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statements to conform to the consolidated 2017 financial statement presentation. These reclassifications hadno effect on net loss or cash flows as previously reported. 3. Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financialsupport or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary hasboth the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from theentity that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

If Milestone Scientific determines that it has operating power and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits, Milestone Scientific consolidates the VIE as the

primary beneficiary. Milestone Scientific’s involvement constitutes power that is most significant to the entity when it has unconstrained decision-making ability over keyoperational functions within the entity.

Milestone Scientific is the primary beneficiary of Milestone Education as of January 2016. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of Milestone Education are included in the

accompanying consolidated financial statements. Because Milestone Scientific had an increasing variable interest in Milestone China, it further considered the guidance in Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 810 as

it relates to determining whether Milestone China is a VIE and, if so, identifying the primary beneficiary. As Milestone China’s equity at risk and voting rights were notproportional to their economic interest, Milestone China was determined to be a VIE. Milestone Scientific would be considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE if it has bothof the following characteristics:

● Power Criterion: The power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance; and

● Losses/Benefits Criterion: The obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant or the right to receive benefits that couldpotentially be significant to the VIE.

Milestone management does not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact Milestone China's economics and, therefore, the power criterion has

not been met. Management placed the most weight on the relationship and significance of activities of Milestone China to the majority shareholder/CEO of Milestone China. Asmajority shareholder, majority holder of voting rights, and the active CEO, the 53% investor has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economicperformance of Milestone China. Management has concluded that Milestone Scientific is not the primary beneficiary under ASC 810. Accordingly, Milestone China has not beenconsolidated into the financial statements of Milestone Scientific and continues to be accounted for under the equity method.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Milestone Scientific considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 5. Accounts Receivable

Milestone Scientific sells a significant amount of its product on credit terms to its major distributors. Milestone Scientific estimates losses from the inability of its customersto make payments on amounts billed. Most of credit sales are due within ninety days from invoicing. There have not been any significant credit losses incurred to date. As ofDecember 31, 2017, and 2016 Accounts receivable was recorded, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $10,000 respectively. 6. Note Receivable

Milestone Scientific values note receivable at historic cost less amount paid against principle. Milestone Scientific estimates losses on the note-based payments and creditquality of the debtor. 7. Product Return and Warranty

Milestone Scientific generally does not accept non-defective returns from its customers. Product returns under warranty are accepted, evaluated and repaired or replaced inaccordance with the Warranty Policy. Returns not within the Warranty Policy are evaluated and the customer is charged for the repair. 8. Inventories

Inventories principally consist of finished goods and component parts stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventory quantities on hand arereviewed on a quarterly basis and a provision for excess, slow moving, and obsolete inventory is recorded if required based on past and expected future sales, potentialtechnological obsolescence and product expiration requirements. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016 inventory was recorded net of allowance for slow moving inventoryof approximately $220,000 as of December 31, 2017 and $0 as of December 31, 2016 9. Equity Method Investments

Investments in which Milestone Scientific can exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are includedin the long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under this method of accounting, Milestone Scientific's share of the net earnings or losses of the investee ispresented below the income tax line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Milestone Scientific evaluates its equity method investments whenever events or changes incircumstance indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other thantemporary, a loss is recorded in earnings in the current period. 10. Furniture, Fixture and Equipment

Equipment is recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the

assets, which range from two to seven years. The costs of maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. As of December 31, 2017, and 2016 furniture, fixtures& equipment was recorded net of accumulated depreciation of $721,619 and $659,144 respectively.

F-9

Page 55: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

11. Intangible Assets – Patents and Developed Technology

Patents are recorded at cost to prepare and file the applicable documents with the US Patent Office, or internationally with the applicable governmental office in therespective country. The costs related to these patents are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the patent. Patents and other developedtechnology acquired from another business entity will be amortized at the estimated average useful life of the patent. These patents and developed technology are recorded atthe acquisition cost. Patent defense costs, to the extent applicable, are expensed as incurred. Patent applications filed, and patents obtained in foreign countries are subject to the laws andprocedures that differ from those in the United States. Patent protection in foreign countries may be different from patent protection under United States laws and may not befavorable to Milestone Scientific. Milestone Scientific also attempts to protect the proprietary information using confidentiality agreements and by limiting access to itsfacilities. There can be no assurance that the program of patents, confidentiality agreements and restricted access to the facilities will be sufficient to protect the proprietarytechnology.

12. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets As of December 31, 2017, Milestone Scientific has reviewed long-lived assets for any impairments. The carrying value of the assets is evaluated in relation to theoperating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets. Milestone Scientific adjusts the net book value of an underlying asset if its fair value isdetermined to be less than its net book value. There have been no impairment indicators or triggering events and therefore, there are no impairments as of December 31, 2017and 2016 respectively. 13. Revenue Recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized, net of discounts and allowances to domestic distributors, on the date of shipment for substantially all shipments, since theshipment terms are FOB warehouse. Milestone Scientific recognizes revenue on date of arrival of the goods at the customer's location, where shipments are FOB destination. Inall cases the price to the buyer is fixed and the collectability is reasonably assured. Further, Milestone Scientific has no obligation on these sales for any post installation, set-upor maintenance, these being the responsibility of the buyer. Milestone Scientific's only obligation after sale is the normal commercial warranty against manufacturing defects ifthe alleged defective unit is returned within the warranty period. Devices and hand pieces are not bundled but rather sold separately and, as such, there are no multiple elementdeterminations in connection with the revenue recognition.

Milestone Scientific defers the total revenue and costs of goods sold when devices and handpieces are shipped to Milestone China and Milestone China’s agent due to

market conditions and Milestone China liquidity concerns. Also, due to timing differences of when the inventory sold to Milestone China is recognized and when MilestoneChina sells the acquired inventory to third parties, an elimination of the intra-entity profit is required as of the balance sheet date. In accordance with ASC 323 Equity Methodand Joint Ventures, Milestone Scientific has deferred 40% of the gross profit associated with recognized revenue from Milestone China that has not been sold to third parties. 14. Shipping and Handling Costs Milestone Scientific includes shipping and handling costs, if any, in cost of goods sold. These costs are paid by or billed to customers at the time of shipments. Domestic andinternational shipments are FOB warehouse; therefore, no costs are incurred by Milestone Scientific. 15. Research and Development

Research and development costs, which consist principally of new product development costs payable to third parties, are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for theresearch are amortized to expense either as services are performed or over the relevant service period using the straight-line method.

F-10

Page 56: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

16. Income Taxes Milestone Scientific accounts for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be computed fortemporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted taxlaws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferredtax assets to the amount expected to be realized. 17. Basic and diluted net loss per common share Milestone Scientific presents “basic” earnings (loss) per common share applicable to common stockholders and, if applicable, “diluted” earnings (loss) per common shareapplicable to common stockholders pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 260. Basic earnings (loss) per common share iscalculated by dividing net income or loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and to be issued during eachperiod. The calculation of diluted earnings per common share is like that of basic earnings per common share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number ofadditional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, warrants, and theconversion of debt were issued during the period. Since Milestone Scientific had net losses for 2017 and 2016, the assumed effects of the exercise of potentially dilutive outstanding stock options and warrants were notincluded in the calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Such outstanding options and warrants totaled 3,710,335 and 3,329,769 at December 31, 2017 and 2016,respectively. 18. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assetsand liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.The most significant estimates relate to the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, and cash flow assumptions regarding evaluations for impairment of long-livedassets and going concern considerations, and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 19. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements: Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants inthe principal market at the measurement date (exit price). We are required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:

● Level 1 inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement

date.● Level 2 inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly.● Level 3 inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of an input tothe fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. 20. Stock-Based Compensation Milestone Scientific accounts for stock-based compensation under ASC Topic 718, Share-Based Payment. ASC Topic 718 requires all share-based payments to employees,including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the Statements of Operations over the service period, as an operating expense, based on the grant-date fair values.

F-11

Page 57: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

The fair value of the non-employee options was estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model at the date of grant. In accordance with the

provisions of FASB ASC 505, Milestone Scientific will re-measure the value of the grant at each presentation date unless there is a significant disincentive for non-performanceor until performance has been rendered. For the twelve months end December 31, 2017, Milestone Scientific recognized $9,384 income related to non-employee options. For thetwelve months end December 31, 2016, Milestone Scientific recognized $25,346 expense related to non-employee options. 21. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance for revenue recognition for contracts, superseding the previous revenue recognitionrequirements, along with most existing industry-specific guidance. The guidance requires an entity to review contracts in five steps: 1) identify the contract, 2) identifyperformance obligations, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price, and 5) recognize revenue. The new standard will result in enhanced disclosuresregarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue arising from contracts with customers.

In August 2015, the FASB issued guidance approving a one-year deferral, making the standard effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The

FASB continues to release guidance clarifying certain aspects of the revenue guidance. We do not believe that this new accounting pronouncement will have a material impacton our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a new standard Accounting Standards Update ("ASU ") No.2016-02, "Leases"(Topic 842). The new standard is intended to increase

transparency and comparability among organizations to recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Itwill be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, the adoption of this ASU will have on itsfinancial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (Topic 326).: The new standard is intended to replace the

incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable andsupportable information to inform credit loss estimates. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. MilestoneScientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2016, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2016-15, "Statement Cash Flows “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Disbursements" Topic

230). The new standard provides guidance as to the conformity of presentation of certain cash receipts and disbursements. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years andinterim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Milestone Scientific does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its presentation withinthe statement of cash flows.

In November 2016, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash” (Topic 230). The new standard provides guidance as

to address the diversity of treatment of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning afterDecember 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Milestone Scientific does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its presentation within the statement ofcash flows.

In May 2017, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). The new standard provides guidance and clarity for

modification to equity-based compensation programs. It will be effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. MilestoneScientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on its presentation within the statement of cash flows.

F-12

Page 58: Milestone Scientific Inc. · Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations 24 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk 31 Item 8. Financial

In July 2017, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2017-11, “Earnings Per Share” (Topic 260), “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (Topic 480), “Derivatives and

Hedging” (Topic 815). The new standard provides guidance relating to equity-linked instruments that include certain features. It will be effective for public entities for fiscalyears and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Milestone Scientific is in the process of determining what impact, if any, the adoption of this ASU will have on itspresentation within the statement of cash flows.

In November 2017, the FASB issued a new standard ASU No.2017-14, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income” (Topic 815), “Revenue Recognition”

(Topic 605) and “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606). The new standard provides guidance in these areas pursuant to certain SEC Staff Accounting Bulletinand Release, as they relate to the presentation of revenue recognition matters on the statement of comprehensive income. It will be effective for public entities concurrent withthe effectuation of other revenue recognition standards. Milestone Scientific does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU to have a significant impact on its presentation withinthe statement of comprehensive income. NOTE D — NOTES RECEIVABLE

In June 2017, Milestone Scientific entered into an agreement for the sale of its interest in Milestone China a forty (40%) percent interest (the “Milestone China Shares”) toan unaffiliated United States domiciled purchaser and a 10-year option agreement to repurchase the Milestone China Shares. The purchase price for the Milestone China Shareswas $1,400,000 of which $125,000 was paid in cash and $1,275,000 was paid by delivery of a non-interest bearing secured promissory note. The note is payable in quarterlyinstallments of $125,000 and is secured by the Milestone China Shares until full repayment.

NOTE N — INCOME TAXES

Due to Milestone Scientific's history of operating losses, a full valuation allowances have been provided for all of Milestone Scientific's deferred tax assets At December31, 2017 and 2016, no recognition was given to the utilization of the remaining net operating loss carryforwards in each of these periods.

In accordance with ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities have been classified, and treated retrospectively, as non-current. Deferred tax attributes

resulting from differences between financial accounting amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

2017 2016 Allowance for doubtful accounts-short term $ 3,000 $ 4,000 Warranty reserve 20,000 36,000 Capital Gains 45,000 Deferred officers compensation 636,000 395,000 Depreciation and Amortization 181,000 135,000 Deferred revenue 478,000 Net operating loss carryforward 15,116,000 18,456,000 Subtotal 16,479,000 19,026,000 Valuation allowance $ (16,479,000) $ (19,026,000)

The deferred tax asset, before valuation allowance, has been calculated on rates anticipated to be effect when the temporary differences reverse. Accordingly, based on

the change in Federal tax rates promulgated in December 2017, effective January 1, 2018, the Company utilized a Federal rate of 21% and accordingly existing deferred taxassets upon the tax law act being signed into law on December 22, 2017, the Company revalued its deferred tax assets which resulted in a tax provision charge of $8,677,000,offset by a corresponding decrease in the valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2017, federal net operating loss carryforwards are approximately $60,000,000. As of December 31, 2016, and Milestone Scientific has federal net

operating loss carryforwards of approximately $56,530,000, which is comprised solely of losses attributable Milestone Scientific and its subsidiaries. Net operating losses will beavailable to offset future taxable income, if any, through December 2037. As of December 31, 2017, state net operating losses were approximately $24,500,000. As of December31, 2016 Milestone, Scientific has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,942,000. Net operating losses will be available to offset future taxable income, ifany, through December 2037.

The utilization of Milestone Scientific's net operating losses may be subject to a substantial limitation due to the "change of ownership provisions" under Section 382 of

the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating loss carry forwards before their utilization. MilestoneScientific has established a 100% valuation allowance for all its deferred tax assets due to uncertainty as to their future realization.

As of December 31, 2017, and 2016, state tax liability was approximately $18,339 and $13,000 respectively. Such expense was recognized in the accompanying

consolidated financial statements. A reconciliation of the statutory tax rates for the years ended December 31, is as follows:

2017 2016 Statutory rate 34% 34%State income tax - all states 6% 6%Non-deductible Stock based compensation - 3%Deferred provision for effect of change in Federal rate 164% - 204% 43%Valuation allowance (204%) (43%)Effective tax rate 0% 0%

Accounting for uncertainties in income taxes prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of atax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, disclosure and transition. At December31, 2017, and 2016, we had no uncertain tax positions that required recognition in the consolidated financial statements. Milestone Scientific's policy is to recognize interestand penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. No interest and penalties are present for periods open. Tax returns for the2014, 2015, and 2016 years are subject to audit by federal and state jurisdictions.
